Three problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1998 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had to replace the brake rotors twice on this vehicle since purchased new. Dealer cut rotors upon initial complaint and problem returned within 3000 miles. Dealer offered to replace rotors at my cost informing me they were not covered under warranty. Rotors were again replaced at 60,000 miles and problem has again returned only 2,000 miles later. This appears to me to be a design failure as I have spoken to many people who have experienced this very same problem.
The cruse dosent hold when going down hill if sat a 60 , it will increase to 75 or more . Also there is a grinding noise that is coming from the front of car the faster and in incline it gets very very loud. And the steering wheel vibrates a lot. Also Ford has grinded down the hubs three times since I bought the car and the brakes are going bad again.
A grinding sound was heard from the rear of the car, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer who found that the rear disc brakes along with the rotors needed to be replaced, this repair was not covered under warranty and the consumer feels that it should be.
